Modular controller

SICK will demonstrate its safety portfolio, which includes safety switches, light curtains, safety scanners and cameras, relays and controllers. The company will also preview the new software upgrade for its intuitive Flexi Soft safety controller.

The Flexi Soft modular safety controller has been designed from the outset for the easy combination of function modules to meet the exact needs of a wide range of machinery safety applications. The intuitive Designer software, in its enhanced v1.3 suite, ensures it continually meets the demands of modern production safety, claims SICK.

The Designer v1.3 enables more extensive and flexible control of safety applications for small- to medium-sized machines. Available as a free download at www.sick.co.uk, it enables the connection of four Flexi Soft Controllers, up to 100m, in series, with an online view of the set up. Stand 219
